Career Development SIG: You've Landed the Interview - Now What?!

As the saying goes, “you only have one chance to make a first impression.” This is definitely true in an interview. Most hiring managers form their opinion of you in the first five minutes. So, how do you present your best self at an interview?

Join us for an interactive session as we talk about the different types of interviews, preparing for the interview, selling yourself, how to anticipate and handle difficult questions and how to ask great questions to leave a lasting first impression and set yourself apart from the crowd.

Come prepared with those questions you’ve always wanted to ask but never had the chance. In addition to covering topics of interest to you, we’ll spend some time practicing and getting comfortable with the process.
